San Diego, CA vegan metal warriors Cattle Decapitation return after a three-year studio hiatus with a monster new bassist (Derek Engemann), an adventurous melodic vocal approach added to Trevor Ryan’s hellacious delivery, and a continued vigilance to produce grinding death metal with a discernibly animal friendly message with MONOLITH OF INHUMANITY. This 11-track album shifts gears with ease, throwing down heaping helpings of headbanging brutality (“Forced Gender Reassignment”) while dispersing a seemingly endless supply of jawdropping technical playing and mammoth death metal breakdowns that scream for bodies to collide (“Kingdom of Tyrants”). Cattle Decapitation has once again raise the bar and is at the top of the heap, releasing an album that from start to end yields a triumph of extreme metal mayhem and is a must have for any fan of modern death metal. -Mike SOSwww.metalblade.com
